3-10-08 - Wagner appointed Hollywood police chief
12:13 PM EDT, March 10, 2008
HOLLYWOOD - Scratch "interim" off his title: the job of Hollywood Police Chief officially belongs to Chadwick Wagner, who's held the position on an acting basis since November.
The city manager made the selection official and permanent Monday morning.
The police department also on Monday launched a third Crime Suppression Unit, which will be staffed by seven officers dedicated to fighting street level crime and tackling crime trends throughout the city.Proposals like that, along with Wagner's ability to increase police presence on the streets without increasing costs, impressed City Manager Cameron Benson and confirmed his belief that Wagner should get the job, said Hollywood spokeswoman Raelin Storey.
"In just a few short months, Chief Wagner and his command staff have already been instrumental in making personnel changes and implementing redeployment strategies to save money while putting more officers on our streets," said Benson in an e-mailed statement. "I am very pleased with Chief Wagner's leadership of the department. He's taking it in the right direction."
